                                                                   /   0003 |
   ==========================================================================


   Metal Gear Solid features has a really good sound work for a 1998 game,
   has a nice eletronic ambient music that walks the gamer through the
   emotions that he's suposed to feel, wether it's urgency or calmness or any
   other.

   The cutscenes have a more elaborated music, with chorus and orchestra-like
   songs. And at the ending, the relaxing "The Best Is Yet to Come", a
   vocalized song performed by Rika Muranaka, and that fits totally the
   game's atmosphere.

   That's it, pals. Enjoy now the details of this great soundwork.

   ==== LYRICS (Original Lyrics in Gaelic) ====

   An cuimhin leat an gra
   Cra croi an ghra
   Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche
   Taim siorai i ngra
   Leannain le smal
   Leannain le smal

   Lig leis agus beidh leat
   Lig leis agus beidh gra

   Cuimhne leat an t-am
   Nuair a bhi tu sasta

   An cuimhne leat an t-am
   Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire
   Ta an saol iontach
   ma chreideann tu ann

   Tug aghaidh ar an saoi
   is sonas siorai inar measc
   Ceard a tharla do na
   laethanta sin
   Ceard a tharla do na
   h-oicheanta sin

   An cuimhin leat an t-am
   Nuair a bhi tu faoi bhron
   An cuimhin leat an t-am
   Go siorai sileadh na ndeaor

   An ormsa na orainne a bhi
   an locht
   Ag mothu cailite s'ar fan
   Cen fath an t-achrann is
   sileadh na ndeor
   Ta ailleacht sa saol
   Ma chuardaionn tu e
   Ta gliondar sa saol
   Cuardaimis e



   ==== LYRICS (Translated to English) ====

   Do you remember the time when little things made you happy
   Do you remember the time when simple things made you smile
   Life can be wonderful if you let it be
   Life can be simple if you try

   What happened to those days?
   What happened to those nights?
   Do you remember the time when little things made you so sad
   Do you remember the time when simple things made you cry


   Is it just me, or is it just us
   Feeling lost in this world?
   Why do we have to hurt each other?
   Why do we have to shed tears?
   Life can be beautiful if you try
   Life can be joyful if we try
   Tell me I am not alone
   Tell me we are not alone in this world fighting against the wind
   Do you remember the time when simple things made you happy
   Do you remember the time when simple things made you laugh

   You know life can be simple
   You know life is simple
   Because the best thing in life is yet to come
   Because the best is yet to come
